UFC 226 went down last night (Sat., July 7, 2018) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main headliner, Daniel Cormier made quick work of Stipe Miocic to become the second fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight classes at the same time.
Pro-fighters praised Cormier’s performance on Twitter, check out the reaction below:
DC looks like the uncle that never wants to let anyone touch the grill at the family BBQ.
He grills, plays dominos, and solitaire at the same time. #UFC226
